Route the capuchin monkey took the zoo’s phone and called the police

the police of California received on Saturday, the 14th, a call that was somewhat different from the usual. That’s because the call was not made by a person, but by a monkey. According to the report made by the authorities on social media, they received a call to the emergency number 911 and when they did not have a return from the person on the other side, they decided to track it to see where it was coming from. It was then that San Luis Obispo County officials arrived at the offices of Zoo to You, a reserve 200 miles from Los Angeles. “Dispatchers tried calling and texting but received no response. So they were sent to investigate,” they wrote on the official Instagram account. When they got there, they didn’t find any humans in danger, so they proceeded with the investigation to find out where the mysterious call came from. That’s when everyone realized that it must have been Route the capuchin monkey. “Apparently, Route took the zoo’s cell phone from a golf cart used to get around the zoo.” Capuchin monkeys are particularly curious creatures, who like to poke and press on objects they pick up and accidentally type in the police emergency number.
